Peace In Conforming

I use to break the rules, almost ended up in jail with the fools. No one likes to conform. Everyone wants to do as they please. Either way, there can be a price to pay. For me in my olders years, I've learn to conform. The peace I have is worth every second of giving up my right to not conform. This isn't advice it's just my style of writing and tuning myself up.

There's a time to fight,
there's a time too right,
there's a time to write.
Along with the tasks,
there maybe much fright.
The ending could be sun,
or days as dark as night.


Much of my life,
I've been fighting,
in some way or another.
When I was young,
I fought to be a man.
Hadn't even figured out,
what a man was.
My father,
he never did bother.
He ran from
his responsibilities,
this caused me
many hostilities.
Not a good example,
or role model ample.


Then again after I took,
a second look,
my father was an
excellent role model,
no drugs or alcohol bottle.
All his life he worked a job,
never picked up a gun to rob.
He took good care of him,
even though not them.
His times were
harder than crying,
a rope waiting for
just trying.
He was never hung,
still live out among.


Did dad learn to conform,
or raise hell up a storm?
During my days the rope,
is a mean vision in scope.
I do not have to
conform to dopes,
who stretch necks
with ropes.


It's a new day,
got to conform
another way.
Drive,
don't speed,
especially if there's
no need.
Don't drink and drive,
it's easier to survive.
Fighting with the law,
might be
the last straw.


Peace doesn't easily come,
nothing worthwhile does.
Ignoring the rules,
is a game for fools.
Peace becomes
a personal quest,
we can either pass,
or flunk the test.

Sometimes, when we get older and close enough, there is always a unique quality within our parents that we value; one that we had overlooked when we were too young to understand.

Excellent write, Grady!

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
